Objets d'art Chine : collection L. Wannieck : Paris, mars 1913
A 1913 Paris catalogue of Chinese art objects from the private collection of L. Wannieck, issued as a plate book for buyers and collectors. Its pages show Tang and Ming ceramics and bronzes photographed in plain halftone against cream paper with printed period captions. A designer can take from it the restrained, evenly lit museum-plate look: objects isolated on blank ground with small serif labels beneath.
